Does the precision of a biological clock depend upon its period? Effects of the duper and tau mutations in Syrian hamsters.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations which alter the feedback loops that generate circadian rhythms may provide insight into their insensitivity to perturbation robustness) and their consistency of period (precision). I examined relationships between endogenous period, activity and rest (τ(DD), α and ρ) in Syrian hamsters using two different mutations, duper and tau, both of which speed up the circadian clock. I generated 8 strains of...
